Checking Stored Grain for Spoilage and Pests in Manitoba
Manitoba Agriculture entomologist Dave Smith advises regular winter inspections of stored grain to spot crusting heating or insect activity. Warmer inner grain sections after hot harvests and snow around bins aid moulds insects and fungi. Fungus feeding pests indicate damp grain while grain feeders like rusty and saw toothed beetles may require fumigation or cooling. Phostoxin offers a fumigant option but requires careful handling and aeration after treatment. Samples can be sent to the Winnipeg Entomology Section for identification and more Pest Facts sheet details are available locally.
